Lou Llobell

Lou Llobell (also credited as 盧·洛貝爾) is a Zimbabwe-born screen actor known for bringing intelligence and emotional clarity to character-driven sci-fi and drama. Born on January 18, 1995, she has a multicultural background that continues to shape her on-screen presence and international appeal.

Raised across multiple countries, Llobell was born in Zimbabwe to a Spanish father and a Zimbabwean mother, then spent her formative years in Spain and South Africa.

She is best recognized for her breakout role as Gaal Dornick in Apple TV+’s Foundation, where she anchors the series’ sweeping ideas with grounded, human stakes. Her film work includes Voyagers (as Zandie), as well as credits such as The Pilgrim (Claire), Passenger (Maddie), A Band Apart, and Beach Boys. She has also appeared as herself on The Daily Show.
